Dasha Klymenko is a Ukrainian-born and Canadian based multidisciplinary artist who has been living and working in Toronto Canada since 2005. Dasha creates aesthetic and intellectual works that speak to the viewer about the eternal - love and life in the infinite space of the Universe. It's all begins with Love ♡ My art explores the order of the world, Life as a result, and Love as the primary element - the core according to the formula: Love = Unified Creative Energy of Life = God* = Universe = Nature = Human. ( In God, I understand the supreme principle, universal across all religious denominations.) The key pillars of my creativity emerge from the phenomena of the unconscious, allegorical expression, and romanticism as a herald of art. At its core, my modernist art is a journey towards knowledge, a better world, mutual understanding, and essence. In the contemporary metamodern context, such a manifestation is a return to what is accessible to humanity - a unified truth. I do not allow an alternative view on it, addressing its aspects as broadly as there is no other interpretation for them. I adhere to the principle of reduction, moving from the assential to the secondary. In painting, I have forsaken realism in favor of abstraction, and then color in favor of a two-component image, where black and white become the essence, the quintessence representing my way of perceiving the duality of the world. I create abstract expressionism with an ballpoint ink pen on paper. There is no room for randomness or arbitrary excess. The pen and paper allow me to be in direct contact with the Unified Creative Energy of Life and express deep, complex, multi-component artistic messages in a precise, fast, flexible manner with maximum detail and freedom. In addition to graphics, I create sculptures, collages, and photography, which enable me to work with surfaces and volumes and give me the freedom to express ideas and place the necessary semantic accents. Thus, my visual language, through symbols, constructs a cosmogony, immersing the viewer in the artistic space of love, where they come to the center of themselves and to God.
